This book is based on the Discourse on Right View of the Majjhima Nikāya, which had been delivered by the venerable Sāriputta Thera, one of the two chief disciples of the Buddha. This discourse provides an analysis of right view, based on sixteen factors, namely the unskilful and the skilful, nutriment, suffering, ageing and death, birth, being, taking-up, craving, feeling, contact, the six bases, name-form, consciousness, determinants, ignorance, and the cankers. Additionally, this work features an analysis of the relationships and connections that are prevalent among the sixteen factors, deriving the principle that all these factors exist and cease together. This principle is implicit in the fact that the noble eightfold path is the common way to the cessation of all these sixteen factors.
